Congrats to the guys at 37Signals as they announce Jeff Bezos has made a personal investment in the company.

Here’s the scoop from the 37Signals blog…

Since we launched Basecamp we’ve been contacted by nearly 30 different VC firms. We’ve never been interested in the typical traditional VC deal…We don’t need their money to run the business and our little black book is full. We’re looking for something else.

What we’ve been looking for is the wisdom of a very special entrepreneur who’s been through what we’re going through. Someone who sees things a little differently and makes us feel right at home. Someone with a long term outlook, not a build-to-flip mentality. We found a perfect match in Jeff. Jeff is our kinda guy.

What’s that you say, you’ve never heard of 37Signals? What deserted island have you been living on son? Head over to their site immediately and look at all the cool toys they offer.
